Overalls. At Boston. Yes, really.
We always love seeing where your Allovers end up — but a 26.2-mile race through Boston? That one wasn't on our bingo card.
This year, our overalls showed up at the 130th Boston Marathon — the oldest annual marathon in the world, and arguably the last place you'd expect to see a pair of overalls. Worn by professional runner, coach, pulmonary embolism survivor, and Salida local, Sage Canaday.
Sage powered through all 26.2 miles in our Men's Argos Overalls 2.0 — putting them through a test we definitely didn't design them for, but one we're proud they passed. Movement, comfort, durability, and a willingness to do things a little differently: that's what Allover is all about, and Sage embodied every bit of it.

The Gear: Argos Overalls 2.0
We didn’t design these specifically for marathons — but we did design them for movement.
The Argos Overalls 2.0 are built with:
- Lightweight, flexible fabric
- A relaxed fit that moves with you
- Functional pockets (yes, even mid-race)
- Durable construction that can handle more than just a casual day outside
Seeing them run 26.2 miles? That’s a first.
Seeing them hold up? Not surprising.
Q&A with Sage Canaday:
-
How did the Argos Overalls 2.0 actually perform over 26.2 miles? Anything surprise you?
- I’d say they performed surprisingly well considering I ran a 2:36 in them! The fabric was super comfy the whole time and my leg movement felt very free and natural. I had absolutely no friction or rubbing/chafing issues even running sub 6-min miles up and down the hills on pavement for the entire marathon.
-
What did you put in the overall pockets during the race?
- All the pockets on the Argos Overalls 2.0 were great to have and very functional for this event! I put my valuables like a credit card and my ID in the chest zipper pocket to stay safe. Then in the front chest button pocket I had several energy gels for easy access to store and eat during the race. Finally, in my side hip pockets I had a little bag full of some salt pills and a caffeine pill which I could pull out and take during the race also. Everything felt secure and moved well with me. I love having pockets when I’m on the move doing adventures outside!
-
Did other runners (or spectators) say anything about the overalls?
- I got called “The Overalls Guy” about 100 times! I think other people were just more in shock or reacted later as I flew by at sub 6-min per mile pace.
-
What is one of the craziest races you’ve ever done?
- I’ve finished the UTMB 106-mile ultra marathon mountain race that starts and ends in Chamonix, France once (I’ve also not finished it several times!). It has like 33,000’ of climbing and the trail route goes through France, Italy and Switzerland as you circumnavigate the 15,766’ Mount Blanc
-
How do you balance performance with actually enjoying the process?
- It all comes back to finding ways to have fun and remember why you started running in the first place. I think of each race as a big “adventure” or "opportunity to grow.”
-
What’s one piece of gear you always come back to — and why?
- Carb based energy gels for fuel on big adventures like running up 14ers or doing marathons or ultras or long bike rides. Of course I like real food and snacks as well - it’s just the energy gels are very packable and portable and easy to slurp down. For high intensity endurance racing fueling up is key to be able to move fast for hours on end.
-
What’s next for you this year? Any races or goals you're excited about?
- I’m going back to the mountain trails next and running some 50km ultra marathons! I have one in Australia that I’m really excited about because it’ll be the first time I’ve traveled to that country.

Final Thoughts:
We didn’t make overalls to exactly run in. But we did make them for people who move through the world in their own way — whether that’s on a job site, on a trail, chilling with friends, or somewhere between mile 1 and mile 26.2. Sage just proved they can go the distance at speed.
